Don't Cry For Us

Chapter 2:

The Secret is Revealed

(a.k.a: Muggleborns, Weasels, and Ferrets, oh my!)

"And I believe I want to be your everything

And anything you need"

Hermione choked back her tears long enough to scream one word. "YES!"

Ron looked astonished. Hermione looked absolutely shaken. Hazel eyes met blue. Ron slowly stood up, but was knocked down by Hermione, as she leapt onto him. She laughed as they fell down together, her chocolate hair lying like pools of ebony (A/N: my hair is so brown its black!) against Ron's pale skin...They soon fell asleep, their hearts and breathes falling into the same rhythm...

Lavender sat next to Seamus, Parvati with Dean, and Ginny and Neville sat together, gossiping about what happened in the Gryffindor common room. "I heard that they messed around..." Lavender hissed. Ginny turned red; since it was her brother they were talking about. "No Lav, I heard that they were snogging, and they got so tired from it, they fell asleep, and fell off the couch...*aherm*." Parvati said. Ginny soon turned burgundy around her ears.

"Hi Parvati, Lav, Dean, Seamus. OH, Ginny! I didn't see you there!" Hermione said. Lavender and Parvati laughed when they saw her, and Hermione cocked her head. "What?" Ginny looked at Hermione's hand, and gasped. "Oh my god! That's what happened!" Parvati and Lavender also looked. "Wow, Hermione! That must be about 6 carats!" Hermione giggled. "Nah...3. Ron said it was in the family for a long time. Was he right Ginny?" Ginny nodded, an astonished look on her face.

"Well, it seems that the Mudblood got something from the Weasel..." Hermione turned around and saw Draco. "Well, he has enough in his heart to buy me. I don't need money, ABF."

Draco looked curious. "ABF?" Hermione smiled. "Amazing Bouncing Ferret..." Draco smiled. He was only messing with them now. Hermione smiled and went off to find Harry to tell him the news. Draco remembered being like that with Hermione, but Ron and Hermione were perfect for each other.

When Hermione went over to Harry, Harry was still upset that he got a letter of expellment, even if he didn't get expelled at all.

"Oh, Hermione, I was just looking for...oh my god. He asked you???" Hermione realized that Harry would obviously know. "Yeah..." Harry smiled, but Hermione could tell that it was fake. Harry was still depressed and angry, and that he would take it out on anyone. Hermione soon turned angry and said, "God Harry. I know your upset that Dumbledore stepped aside as Headmaster, and that you almost got expelled again, but don't ruin my day!" Hermione ran off, and Harry knew something happened. "Damned P.M.S."

"Don't cry for us tonight

Don't cry it will be alright

If I could I'd be by your side

Don't cry for us"

Later that night, Ron was sitting down in the dorm room when Hermione stormed in, her mascara running down her cheeks, for she had been crying all night.

"Mione! What happened?!" The brown haired girl flopped down on the bed, and Ron rubbed her back as she talked, so the crying would ease away. "I was- he's such a - why did I- ARGH!" and she flopped down on her back. Ron also laid down and started talking to his girlfriend. "Okay, slow it down. Now, you're saying Harry had another bad day? Don't cry over it, because it'll only make it worse." Hermione sniffled, and she looked to Ron. She wiped away her tears, and smiled. "I'm glad I'm your girlfriend." She rolled on top of Ron and they tickled each other.

'Wow. I'm really lucky to be going out with him' Hermione thought as she saw Ron sleeping, obviously the loser of the tickle fight, as he was curled in a ball. Hermione smiled, and snuck out of the room, as not to disturb him or his dorm mates.

Meanwhile, Peter Pettigrew, more "affectionately" called Wormtail by Voldemort, walked into the room. He faced Voldemort, and shivered slightly. "What is your plans for our conquer of the wizarding world and the demolition of the Muggle world, my Lord?" A pale hand with extremely long fingers reached out and touched Peter's chin. "We will separate the purebloods from the mudbloods and the murmurs. We will separate the true wizards from the Muggle lovers. We will make the wizarding world pure again. And this shall start at Hogwarts!"
